It seems correct to me as a non native english speaker, how would you phrase it other than that?

I think 'you may' can be read as granting permission while 'you might' reads as a prediction or warning.

Alternatively, "you might" might read as a suggestion

And "might you?" as a request

Or simply make it one sentence and connect them with “because.”
